This or the BK14? What are the advantages of each?

I would say the handle is about the only difference in the two if you have larger hands the BK14 might be better, you loose the handy bottle opener that's on the BK11. There is a review on YouTube search BK11 vs BK14, maybe that would help.

I like the handle on the bk11 more and it has a bottle opener and wire breaker both I use more than I thought I would. Like they say better to have them and not need them then need them and not have them. Both are nice though I am happy with they 11 and it is my edc now.

I think the handle on the bk14 is a little bit more comfortable, but the bk11 has more features like the bottle opener and wire breaker, but the bk14 is better for longer cutting tasks.

The BK-2 and the BK-22 are the exact same knife. The difference in model number comes from the sheath they are sold with. The BK-2 is sold with a glass filled nylon sheath. The BK-22 is sold with a heavy-duty polyester sheath.

You know, it is not the simplest answer. The DC17 has more flexibility and power (easier to turn, etc). Not sure if it has more attachments. My DC 14 came with the same attachments my Mom's DC15 came with.

Honestly I prefer a larger heavier blade and it is comfortable its sheeth is nice and distributes the weight very well. It also has a hole for 550 paracord to strap to your thigh as well which helps a lot. I love it and I also love the BK-9 which is heavier. It is all personal preference but for a survival situation I would use the BK-9 or BK-7 but I leave for the Marines in five months and this is a wonderful knife.

It's the newer one with the laser etch. I would assume if you removed the powder costing that the bk9 would be removed as well.

The K is the unlocked multiplier model which usually runs about $50 more. This is for if you plan to overclock you processor you would need the K model

I've used and owned various Kreg jigs (K2000, K3, K4 and K5). They have gotten better with each new model. An exception to this was the K3 versus the K4. I liked the K3 better than the K4 because of the clamping lever in the front (K3) versus the back (K4). The K2000 also had the lever in the back. It is better to have the clamping lever in the front especially when working with larger work pieces. It is good to see Kreg go back to the front lever. I like the K5 best because of the ratcheting clamp. You don't get a face clamp like you do with the K4MS Jig Master System, but the Automaxx clamps are better anyway. I like the 6" better than the 3" clamp. The right angle clamp works great for assembling cabinets also. If you are going to be doing small work (1/2" or less) get the Micro Drill Guide and large work (11/2" & larger) get the HD Jig. They will fit in the K3,K4, or K5 Jigs. To make a long story short get the K5 Jig over the K4 Jig.

The difference between the BK-22 and the BK-2 is the sheath. The BK-22 has a nylon sheath which is an amazing upgrade from the BK-2's sheath. I would opt for the BK-22 because the sheath is better by a 100%. Since I have both knives, I have noticed the the BK-2's sheath dull's the blade after a while and the sheath is actually a pain in the posterior when the blade is not in it. It bangs around like crazy and get annoying after a while. I hope that helps ;)

The BK16 is indeed a drop point. The BK17 is a clip point and the BK15 is a trailing point.

I have both sizes. He must have received the wrong one. I use the 14 as a chipping hammer and other light work. The big one is great for demo work

I bought one of these thinking the same thing, but it doesn't work. The BK13 is significantly smaller than the BK14, and the differences in blade profiles and size prevent it from fitting inside.

The BK16 is a smaller knife suited to most hunting, bushcraft, or camp chores. The BK10 is more of a survival type knife (think a thinner lighter version of the BK2). I have and have used all 3, I can't imagine anything I would do with a knife that the BK16 cannot handle. I gave away my BK10 and only keep my BK2 for it's macho value. If you want to chop big trees get an axe. If you want to split firewood get a belt pole axe. Having said that, in an emergency the BK16 will baton very well.

The D2 will be harder to sharpen, but the edge should hold up longer (meaning less attention needed in the field). It is barely in the stainless category so proper care after use will be required more than a coated blade. I bought it because Becker/KABAR does not seem to do longer runs on anything but 1095. I also have the BK14 and a Lanksy dog bone for sharing. The D2 BK24 will not be put in the hands of friends.

I own both and personally prefer the coated BK14. The coating prevents rust and covers up any rough grind spots that the BK24's stonewashed surface does not. I don't know if they changed the coating somewhere along the line but mine has not scraped off with use; not to say the coating will never scrape, but I'm personally glad it's there.

I can't compare the two, but reviews I read indicated specs for the 140 were better at the edges. I bought the 140 several months ago, and am very pleased with quality and speed.

If I knew the answer to that, I wouldn't be complaining about it. I read the reviews prior to ordering and several complained about this. I thought I'd get lucky, but NO. I ordered the KMC1 and have had no issues whatsoever. It's an additional hundred dollars, but well worth it. It sounds tons better, too. Shame on me for not following my gut and paying attention to reviews.

Its longer then the BK16 but it really seems to weight the same. I love it. The length does not really bother me but I mainly use it to carry in our hunting bag. So that's really a personal question of preference. Hope this helps.
